Ah. You're right, though -- he'll get used to it as he gets older and more confident. Or wear pants! Kids are pretty resilient. And he'll probably want to wear it, because it will prevent his leg from aching.
Gracie! No scariness, kiddo.

This is kind of scary. I've learned how to make a good cheese sauce.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Man, Kat, rollercoaster. Glad you're off it for now.
I hope Mac learns to deal. My best friend when I was 3 or so had one leg amputated below the knee. I so wanted to be handicapped like him because it was cool.
Kids are weird.
Okay. Uploaded more portraits. Updated accounting software. Paying bill. Loving internet.

Hey, msbelle, maybe we can use that thing I bought you this weekend, huh?

Childhood friends included a girl who had a partial ear and her brother who had a funky hand. Since we'd known each other since birth, it was only a surprise that there weren't more like them.
